Abstract: A differential absorption spectrum for a reactive gas in a gas mixture can be generated for sample absorption data by subtracting background absorption data set from the sample absorption data. The background absorption data can be characteristic of absorption characteristics of the background composition in a laser light scan range that includes a target wavelength. The differential absorption spectrum can be converted to a measured concentration of the reactive gas using calibration data. A determination can be made whether the background composition has substantially changed relative to the background absorption data, and new background absorption data can be used if the background composition has substantially changed. Related systems, apparatus, methods, and/or articles are also described..

Abstract: To improve semiconductor-based systems for generating white light, a phosphor is integrated into a diffusely reflective surface of an external structure. Radiant energy of a first wavelength of first and second characters is emitted, typically by one or more LEDs or other semiconductor devices. The emitted radiant energy impinges the diffusely reflective surface which contains a doped material. At least some of the impinging radiant energy of the first wavelength excites one or more phosphors that form the doped material to emit visible light of at least one second wavelength different from the first wavelength. At least some radiant energy is reflected by the diffusely reflective surface and combined with the visible light to form light emitted for a particular humanly perceptible luminance or illumination application.

Title: Apparatus for mri guided hyperthermia surgery
Inventor: TORCHIA MARK G
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 2001-06-15
Abstract: An MRI guided surgical apparatus includes a heat source formed by a laser (21) and an optical (20) fiber carrying the heat energy into a part to be coagulated by hyperthermia with an end reflector to direct the energy in a beam to one side of the fiber end. A reinforcing sleeve (38) for the fiber is mounted in a shielded, Piezo-electric motor (22) which causes movement of the fiber longitudinally and angularly within a rigid elongate cannula. A magnetic resonance imaging system is arranged to generate a series of output signals over a period of time representative of temperature in the part as the temperature of the part changes during that time. The heat source is controlled in heat energy applied and location and orientation of the beam to stop heating when the temperature at the boundary of a tumor reaches the required hyperthermic temperature. Cooling of the tip portion of the probe can be effected by encasing the fiber in a tubing material defining a duct for the fiber and supply and return parallel ducts for cooling fluid, the tubing being encased in a titanium stiffening sleeve which is driven in the longitudinal and rotational directions to move the fiber tip.

Abstract: A graft polymer mixture with a graft base based on brown coal and/or polyphenol is proposed, which, as a grafting component, comprises a copolymer consisting of one or more different ethylenically unsaturated monomers and one or more different polyamides. Typical graft bases are brown coal, brown coal coke, lignite and brown coal derivatives, and also tannins. Useful grafting components include especially vinyl-containing compounds and styrenes, which may also be present in sulfonated form.  Natural polyamides, for example casein, gelatin and collagen, are suitable polyamide components. These graft polymers with a preferred molar mass nM > 5000 g/mol are suitable, as a mixture, especially in construction chemical applications, and in the discovery, exploitation and completion of underground mineral oil and natural gas deposits, and in deep bores, since they have outstanding salt and thermal stabilities and are simultaneously water-soluble and/or biodegradable.
